As weird and entertaining as Payback's main event was, creative really need to tone down the Superman booking with regard to Roman Reigns.

There's a point where his victories just seem cheap and hollow if he's able to kick out of a ton of AJ Styles' signature moves (not to mention some interference from Anderson and Gallows), and yet puts AJ down for the count with a fairly weak-looking Spear.

Yes, the WWE desperately want to make Reigns the next Hogan or Cena, but in this day and age, aren't fans eager for a wrestling contest that's, well, actually a contest?

Where's the fun in watching the already-disliked face champion shrug off so many finishers only to suddenly make his opponent eat his own for the win?
